God I love threads like these. It always ends up out of topic !
But really, random crits are funny I mean sometimes I get lucky and get a crit and it saves my ♥♥♥. So why would I complain if someone else gets the same luck?

Okay so you play their game, but complain about how bad it is and the people who made it don't know how to make it?

No game is perfect, liking the majority of the game doesn't mean you can't complain about the bad parts.

It is a core aspect. It was built into the games design upon first release and has remained a core part it's entire life. You saying it is not a core part does not make it true.

Valve makes this game. They are the creators. It is not a weapon they added randomly later. Random crits are just as much a part of the game as the Demoman, Spy or Medic.

Define "core aspect". You can take them out and literally nothing that can be judged objectively will be affected. There's no imbalance created by it, things don't suddenly become unplayable or anything.

Just go and play on nocrit servers. And if they're empty, as they have been for multiple years, you know why. BECAUSE YOU'RE A MINORITY.

Correlation does not mean causation. There's a ton of possible reasons why nocrit servers aren't common, 99% of which have nothing to do with whether people who like nocrits are in the minority or not.

I actually think that it lowers the overall skill level of the community, which is a pity.

Because of random crits, plus a number of unlocks, there is little need to improve gameplay. If you can do ok, simply because of random crits, there is no pressure to improve. This means that the stagnates in terms of skills and means that whenever I go on a public server the skill level is low or even worse, just a spam fest.

On top of that there is a complete lack of teamwork and communication, but that is another story.

They don't, which is hilarious as servers that use fastspawn/instaspawn/premium/bots ARE eligible for quickplay.

Bots are understandable, but the other three are rageworthy. I can't believe that no crits is TERRIBLE, but instant spawning is cool, man. It's worse than just these, though: I've had quickplay toss me onto a weapon randomnizer server a couple of times, and onto this very complex and very game changing WoW mod several times before.

My point exactly. Using quickplay as a reason for why certain things aren't as Valve intended or whatever nonsense people come up with is a joke for that precise reason.
